I will say I would like to see the ball kicked deep into the endzone. A team starting at the 20 yard line (or farther) probably has about a 5 percent chance of scoring a touchdown against this defense. In doing research: All Opponent's Drives YTD........: 92 drives, 11 TDs, 12.0 % Opponent's drives over 80 yards: 42 drives, 2 TDs, 4.8 % Opponent's drives over 70 yards: 62 drives, 5 TDs, 8.1 % Opponent's drives 70 yards & in: 30 drives, 4 TDs, 13.3 %
Thanks to DVR I was able to go back and take a closer look. First kick was taken at the goal line, no one in a white jersey even in the frame until the return man is across the 20. It was returned to the 37. The next kick was muffed ( I love that word) and picked up in the endzone. The defender took a terrible angle and missed a tackle at the 5. It was brought out to the 10. Next was taken at the 5, again, bad angles allowed it out to the 20. Next at the 9, 2 missed tackles to the 20 and then the big one that they almost broke. The insult here is that they ran this one right through the teeth of the coverage and no one puts a hand on him much less a helmet.
